The '02 WR has a real nice motor, the later years a bit more mid hit and top from what I hear. Guys who have had several say they like the '02. A Keihin carb helps too, makes the bike more linear and easier to jet more accurately.
I don't think it feels long, just taller, like a Yamaha. The 4-strokes (new frame) feel very big and long to me, but lower. My brother also had a TE450 and there was a big difference in feel between the bikes. I'm a 32" inseam and have no issues. That WR goes through the woods just fine, Fred Hoess rode them to a couple ECEA championships.
